MAIN MENU
Arcade Race
Compete wheel to wheel against game-controlled (A.I.) drivers as you unlock
new cars and Arcade race series (see page 9).
Career Mode
Compete online or offline in multiple race types, level up your driver to unlock
manufacturer relationships, and earn money with which you can customize and
collect cars (see page 10). In online Career races, you’ll earn credits and level
up your driver by racing human opponents.
Multiplayer
Race against another player on a split screen, use System Link to connect up to
eight Xbox
®
consoles on a LAN (Local Area Network), or connect to the Xbox
Live
online service (see page 22). View scoreboards to see how you stack up against
your friends, members of your Car Club, and the world (if you’re not connected
to Xbox
Live, then you have access to local scoreboards only).
Time Trials
Attempt to set the fastest single-lap time on a specific track with a specific car.
Because all players are racing the same car under the same conditions, the only
factor here is skill.
Scoreboards and Ghosts
Your times are uploaded automatically for any race to local and Xbox Live scoreboards, and
depending on your rank, your ghost is uploaded automatically to Xbox Live scoreboards. You also
can compete against a downloaded ghost in
Free Run
and
Time Trials
.
Free Run
Practice with any car on any track. There are three types of Free Run races:
Hot Lap, Autocross, and Point to Point. In Hot Lap, race around a track as many
times as you want in an attempt to set the fastest time. In Autocross, race
through cone gates in an attempt to set the fastest time. In Point to Point, race
from one point to the next in an attempt to set the
fastest time.
Options
Modify your audio options and soundtrack, make changes to the HUD, choose
English or metric units, select your controller setup, and watch replays.
In-Game Assists
Stability Management (STM) helps maintain vehicle control under difficult cornering conditions.
Traction Control (TCS) maximizes grip between the vehicle’s driven tires and the road surface
under acceleration.
Anti-Lock Braking (ABS) rapidly alters brake pressure to maintain maximum braking force at
the threshold of wheel lockup.
Suggested Line helps you learn racing techniques by drawing a racing line on the track. Green
indicates you should accelerate, and red indicates you should slow down (by releasing the gas
and/or applying the brakes). However, racing the suggested line doesn’t guarantee victory.
The optimum speed and line for each race might be different across drivers, cars, conditions,
and setups.
